Interviewing Killdozer Victims (I Brought My Bulldozer)

- In 2004 Marvin Heemeyer destroyed half of his town with an armored Komatsu D355A bulldozer as revenge for what he believes was government overreach and unfair treatment from the town. Unfortunately there is very little unbiased media on the subject at a time when Marvin's actions now resonate with millions of Americans, and even less information from Marvin's side with the exception of some tape recordings. So I drove to the town where it all happened to talk to the locals and get a better idea of why Marvin did what he did. #killdozer #granby

Hearing the cop saying: "He was a bad guy. But the older I get... I see it, from a Libertarian perspective."
Absolutely sent me.
Has nothing to do with getting older.. i grew up as a libertarian, always been apolitical & centrist. I always understood why but the dude was an unhinged hypocrite, people get delusional and think they're the main character of the world.
Libertardian perspective
Yeah dude. Its insane what orders the sheep will follow. But then we they are sent out to pasture, they look back and go oh shit that was kinda fucked. Just imagine having your way of life being taken away from you all because the local government wouldnt let you put in your own driveway.
Can’t believe America has autistic cops 😬
A man with nothing to lose will destroy everything he can before leaving.

I have the .38 Special Marvin used to end his career. My Stepfather at the time was a state trooper in Greeley Colorado. He got a call and is seen in multiple photos at the basement, crawling all over the dozer. The handgun was put in a Greeley evidence room because the act was so terrible higher ups investigate. To make a long story short it expired in the evidence room and was claimed. It’s still in Colorado and has been restored. Except red blood cells have deteriorated the external metal of the handgun. It fires and operates fine but there is the engraving of the rust caused by the bodily fluids of Marvin that stain the handgun forever.
Dear god
Crazy!!
Damn
Damn man! Could I see some photos somehow?
Want to sell?
I am from Granby, CO and was just a few blocks away at daycare when this happened.I don't remember any of it because I was 2, but I spent the next 17 years living and going to school in this town, growing up in the aftermath that was the killdozer. One of my moms best friends dated Marv for years, and before he went on his rampage he paid for her to go back to her home country to see her family. Patrick Brower who wrote the book on the killdozer was the publisher at ski-hi news at the time and Marv specifically went after the newspapers building because of how everything leading up to the rampage was covered. I grew up with Browers son, his wife was one of my french teachers at one point, there were so many others I grew up with or knew who were involved. Everyone in the town has some sort of connection to this day. I don't condone the actions of Marv, but I also understand why he did what he did and know he was at his limit. The town really screwed him over time and time again, I am just glad there were no casualties apart from Marv. Its really interesting to see an outsiders perspective.
Thanks for sharing... Man, this planet can be hard at times...
Yap yap yap
Did any of yall hold the officials accountabl3 for the way they colluded? I guess not. Small townsfolk act high and mighty yall the same
The fact that the town officials knew what buildings he would target, tells me that they knew exactly who did him wrong
You missed the point

Sometimes the "bad guy" wasn't so bad
@Chris-wy2bn sometimes its just a person pushed to their limits
Much like many mass shooter manifestos. They are not shared because it goes against the pushed propaganda and the public would align.
Thought the same and found out he was a completely unreasonable man, I think there was a post on reddit
@@kedanewdards *reasonable?
R.I.P. Marvin ,they call it killdozer yet it killed no one! This guy was wronged!
"Sometimes Reasonable People Does Unreasonable Things " Spot on 👌🏽
Sometimes they're forced, to.
If reason cannot be applied, unreasonable means must be taken.
And he wasn't a reasonable man.
Reasonable? The guy was robbed and blocked in every way. Reasonable to me he reacted the way he did.
Such bullshit people demonizing what " he could have "
Well he didn't.
@@myflatlineconstruct "The guy was robbed and blocked in every way." No he wasn't. You believe in pure fiction. He was never robbed, he never had blocked road access, he never lost his business. Everything you believe is a lie and it's sad.
"Such bullshit people demonizing what " he could have "
Well he didn't." Not for lack of trying. He shot at people with a .50 caliber rifle and the library he demolished had children in it not even a minute before he rammed into it. You know nothing about the real story.
I stand with marv. We've all experienced corruption and if you haven't yet you will. "Absolute power corrupts absolutely"
Me too. Cut off his business, denied him a road then fined him for sewer and unsightly cars. Go Marc go! Rest in peace

But you guys will continue to bootlick cops and the capitalists that horde money and keep the working class fighting for scraps. You guys vote in politicians who hold so much power. You guys will call anti-capitalists "commies", and shun any leftist ideas that are ACTUALLY against the system, and for giving more power and autonomy to us regular folk. You guys dont stand for anything real. You bootlick those with true power, and worship a lunatic who toom his anger out on the little guys. I think you guys just enjoy it.
Marvin was a good guy. He is an example of an honest, hard-working American that got bullied by selfish people.
👌
idk if you read the real story he seems kind of like a psychopath. you kind of have to be to do something like this. the internet has adopted him as a folk hero so i guess that overshadows the bad stuff lol

He sold his property for ten times what he paid for it. All he ever did was bitch and complain and refuse to empty his septic tank.
I am from Germany and the story of the Killdozer is one of my favourites and also pretty good known by the people here. I often wish, more people would TREAD on the opressors in the world, so Marvin was a man to look up to for me.
Also this series of WD is really the first ones where i am a 100% behind. Love the provocation in this one and i am really curious too see what he does with the kommatsu. A "rebuild" of the armored one as a display and reminder, kind of a collectors edition thing, would be an awesome thing to have on his farm. But the thing i hope the most for, is that he for once doesnt just destroy it for fun. This "thing" is one of the reasons I most of the time dont really go along well with cody. But this is just my opinion, and everyone can do what he wants with their money... Just bugs me to see, how he sometimes crash brand new cars or other things, that normal working people like me can hardly afford. But thats another story. For now, its the story of the awesome KILLDOZER, so... TREAD ON THEM!
I agree man, they fuckin bullied and Harrassed him to no end ans then turn around and say "he was good, he did us a favor" hypocrisy at its finest.
People are far too complacent with their oppression, it's almost like they enjoy it.
As a native American, i wish my brothers would stand tall, especially now.

We need more people like Marvin who just doesn't bow down to the government / local agencies. He worked his entire life for his business and it was taken away from him overnight

This is absolutely one of the best things you've done. It was so interesting. You R the man!!! We even had to watch the killdeer videos....
Gotta love the telephone game, it never fails. 11:00 Cody explicitly tells the people at the Sky-Hi News than he has a unarmored Komatsu D355A arriving in a couple hours. By the time Cody meets up with law enforcement, they've been told he has a duplicate of the armored Killdozer and is planning to drive it down Main Street.
Crooked media twisting things as they usually do.
LMFAO! So true
The cops are pretty bored here lol
I'm surprised she didn't immediately call the City Hall lady and tell her to evacuate! 😂😂😂
What did you think the news would do? Lol they wanted a story and lots of police and fear make a story
For anyone curious, Marvin didn’t purchase the dozer with the intention of rampaging. He originally bought it to make a new route to his shop (the cementing plant basically blocked off his business). At some point he essentially was like “fuck it” and sold everything he had, then invested the rest of his money into armoring killdozer.
Thank you,i realy love to know what realy happend.i feel marvin..
What happened to the "killdozer" afterwards? is it still in existence or did it get scrapped?
@@scottyc6140it’s my understanding it’s been scrapped
he tried to sell the dozer but he couldn't. He took it as a 'sign from God' that he needed to make it into the killdozer.
Yep, got scrapped @@scottyc6140

The fact that all the officials immediately knew who it was and where he was headed tells me all I need to know.
They all knew they were screwing him over
Why do you say that?
They all pushed him to that point they all screwed him over. Legally, the people who screwed him over shouldn’t of been able to do what they did. He was losing everything for nothing. He literally did what he had to do. I feel bad for Marvin more than anyone else in the town.
@@Jcron13 incorrect he was using an abandoned cement mixer to hold hundreds of gallons of sewage, there is a reason we have codes in this country
@@fanda6122only reason he did that is because the owner of the concrete place would not allow him to connect to his sewage lines. Dude had to do something with it and nobody was willing to give him any help
My guy you cease to amaze me with your content keep doing you man good shit
Dude, that production value was top notch. It was very balanced, included key moments, and presented a fair portrayal.
"He kinda did us a favor" this was a guy who's business and himself was bullied to the point to do what he done. I'm actually glad Cody is bringing this back up.
And the publisher at the news station wrote a book about it and made money off of him. Kinda fucked
"To the point to do what he done" 🤡
@@rockjaw11I don't think he's paying his bills with the book. From what he said to Cody, it sounds like his focus was on getting the truth out.
This looks like Cody's not so subtle threat to bulldoze a town that wrongs him 😂
The wikipedia article makes him seem like a complete idiot. he was offered $350,000 after buying the property for $40,000 and rejected it, it says he was offered multiple solutions multiple times. I don't know the full story though.and it could definitely be twisted to fit a narrative
Only until you deal with corrupt politicians will you understand this man. He wasn't taking it like everyone else does.
The story liberal media has around it is no different than what they did to Kyle Rittenhouse as well, make up lies, distort history, come up with new claims, slander the person, ect.
Corrupt cement business, corrupted small town government.
Did he kill anyone ?
except he was actually schizophrenic lmfao.
no @@speedypete9694
This was actually well put together considering your usual editing style. Well done boys, well done
This is your best video ever Cody. Great job, really interesting to follow along with.
I worked in granby CO for the USFS for 3 years. I ended up meeting one of his old friends who used to ride snowmobiles with Marvin. Marvin was the creator of the Heymeyer bumper, a 3 plus inch round metal pipe bent and welded into a front bumper for a snowmobile. Marvin pioneered the Granby Signature style of snowmobiling through the mountains with these bull bar guards plowing over small trees that would otherwise stop other riders. He was a brilliant machinist and craftsman, and was respected and cherished by many people in town. I think he did what he thought was right, and he was willing to die for that belief. Pretty incredible story.
That's really awesome! Thank you for sharing that bit of information. One day information like this needs to be compiled into a book that shows the real day to day life of Marvin Heemeyer and how much of a great guy he was.
I knew Marv, and l also rode snowmobiles with him. He was a great man and an awesome guide. RIP Marv...
That’s super interesting- I feel like today with social media the whole situation would have turned out differently - but if it was Cody in the same situation back then, well same 😂

Awesome way to dig into this story. We'll played Sir.... outstanding work ❤
The cop is the realest one he’s like “as a kid he was a bad guy but when I got older I started to understand why”
Cops will always serve their paymasters, though.
Just part of growing up and gaining maturity. You start to have more conservative/libertarian viewpoints because we all at some point in our lives are throttled to some degree by the system and local politics. Much respect to the cop for being able to say that out loud

I have a cabin up in Granby near the lake, and I can tell you from first hand experience that the council in Granby at the time was full of a bunch of knuckle heads. They were changing a lot of rules about building code in the early 00s and my grandfather had a fight with them about being able to get a septic system and well put in at the cabin a few years before the killdozer event.
Good and interesting to know. People forget that things weren’t always “just so” and a lot of b.s went behind how things got to where they are now.
Our present town now is turning into this town slowly over 10's of years. Each government getting worse and worse trying to out virtue signal each other.. They are making up or applying laws by who you are and what race you are. If you are European you can build only to a specific hight and size as per the laws. but if you belong to a specific minority group. Even if you are 10th generation Canadian you get special rules to build a $2-4 million dollar building. I don't think anyone that can afford to build a 2-4 million dollar home is a victim. Meanwhile the people around me that are not this special class are denied building permits for things like blackberries on the property. Or demanding they pay also for the entire streets sewer and water for a permit to build. But mostly the special group gets to build out to the property line with gigantic 10 bedroom homes that become white elephants. While the non group can't build more than a 3 bedroom home and restricted to 1/3 build out 5 foot from the property line. My place I couldn't have a basement and couldn't build more than 2 bedrooms with an in law suite. But the people access the street have under ground garage. 5 bedroom house with a 4 bay garage an in law suite and a carriage house above the underground garage. On the same size property. We live in a flood plain. No problem with a 8 foot hole under the house filled with cars.

This one made me smile the whole time. Amazing job. It’s truly sad what they did to him. As someone quoted famously he was “a reasonable man pushed to do unreasonable things.” ;(
My dad is a limestone miner and they have an extensive array of komatsu equipment ranging from haul trucks to dozers to all types of earth movers and those machines are mind boggling up close. I’ve seen one if their biggest dozers plow through 100+ tons of limestone like nothing. Without even slowing down. Best believe the people that did him wrong were shitting their pants when they saw that machine headed towards their building lol

@@corybrockman1865 Facts
well said!
I was there that day, I was 13. I was in the shop across from the propane tanks, on the dirt road where they tried to park the road scraper to block the dozer. It was obviously a very strange day.We think he came down to shoot the propane tanks hoping they would explode and damage the bridge over the railroad tracks and the river coming into town. The tanks were much closer to the bridge and the tracks then, they moved them to where you saw them when they were replaced. When it was happening, no one knew what was going on, there was this tank thing no one had ever seen before just fucking shit up. It was wild, like the cop said in the video there was no Grandby police, only the Sheriff . I remember before the sheriff could start to figure out what to do the citizens were shooting at the dozer. The Sheriffs and the state troopers were all spread out, no one knew if the dozer was shooting or the cops we shooting. It was the slowest chaos. After he got stuck and the stand off and it was over, the city didn't know what to do with the dozer. They moved the dozer over to the CDOT storage area down the highway out of town. My Uncle took me to see it a few days later. It was a crazy machine. They had to cut it up to actually get it out of town cuz it was so heavy. The way I remember the perception of what happened was that he was a guy that got screwed, tried to speak up and was shut down for small town politics. At the time Granby was small, there was only one restaurant, the only real industry there was the concrete plant, so they were bringing in a lot of money and used that influence. He wasn't a crazy guy, he did a crazy thing, in the end it was just sad. It definitely changed Grandby, in different ways. It put Grandby on the map for one, everyone in the country knew about it overnight. It also kinda started a bit of gentrification in the town, slowly we got these nicer, newer buildings, it made the other shitty buildings look shittier, Grandby realized they needed to rebuild into the stereotypical Colorado mountain town main drag to soak up some of the tourism. You did a good job with this, and it meant a lot to that family that you gave them that truck.
This is super interesting, and also the follow up on the truck.

What started it was Martin bought the muffler shop but the guy that owned the cement plant right next door actually wanted it also. Marvin was not a native of the town but the cement plant guy was, so he had contacts in the community and city Council. The real problem was that the only way to get the muffler shop connected to the city sewer, which the city Council suddenly insisted that he do, or they would fine him a ton of money daily, which they did. Problem was,, the only way to get connected was to go through the cement plant property, but that guy was mad he didn't get the muffler shop so he refused. They backed Marvin into a corner and he flipped out. I don't blame him at all. To those that say "there was a better way to resolve it" are full of it, because there WAS no way to resolve it, other than to sell the muffler shop.
So, not government overreach, but big business in town corrupting government. Nothing like Ruby Ridge, per the other comment. Critical thinking goes a long way
This
@@100Proof12 He wanted his business, reason he bought the property. So no, not a generous offer.
He actually originally had sewer line access, they shut it off when they built the concrete factory, then denied him any other way to hook it up while still fining him for it not being hooked up, then denied him the right to make his own shop accessible when the concrete company also blocked off the previous entrance

An important thing to note is that he didn't buy the bulldozer to plow down the town; he bought it to create an access road to his shop. He felt the concrete plant was blocking people from getting to his muffler shop. He tried to sell it, and once it didn't sell he decided it was a sign from God to use it
My understanding was Marv purchased the dozer and other pieces of equipment, to put in an access road, and he also had to put in either sewer or water line to his shop or was getting fined from city or was going to get the property condemed again its a bit foggy but that was my recolection
read his wikipedia page. The conrete plant wanted his land. He kept upping the price everytime they had an agreement so they eventually bought the land next to him and built it. They originally owned his land. He kept making up BS reason to stop it from being build because he was mad he screwed himself out of money. The plant even offered to let him hook up to their sewer for free, but he refused because hes a loser who blames everyone but himself.@@vleckster
Yep.. when they think they rule you at its best

sucks that you gotta ruin it with the skydaddy-issues
Really good. Clicked expecting it to be a meme bit but was pleasantly surprised with something even better. Feels like this should be a series, almost like being the Peter Santenello for places of libertarian/madlad significance.
Cody there’s a lot of us old guys that were wild cards when younger keep the light burning for us all great vids
i love how a person from the town hall at 8:42 said “there’s a better way to resolve this” when he tried going the peacefull way and they all laughed at him.
Yeah it's pretty gross. I don't condone what he did for hurting others, but they broke the man and then got surprised when he lashed out. I'm sure these are all a Godly lot too
Yea that was eye opening. “There’s a better way to resolve this.” The man literally went to court and tried and tried from my tiny perspective. I don’t think any reasonable man would spend hours building a machine that could be brought into war just to be a piece of shit. They destroyed his life so he took his frustration out in a way that the world could learn a valuable lesson especially this corporate democracy,
Dont forget "He used scary guns". That he could have MANY times over actually harmed people with but didnt.
Exactly, she even said they had plenty of time to leave
Ridiculous woman
"He did us all a favor" GTFO. And people wonder why there are Marvin's in this world.
I love how respectful Cody is during his visit through this town.
If you ignore the jokes and banter you would think Cody is a normal person in this video, but we know better xD
😂❤
I agree exactly. So very respectful to everyone!
I think he wishes it would have been him!!
How is bringing a killdozer replica to a city that people were traumatized by it respectful? Lmao
That’s a great article Cody and bringing light to a small town incident that not many people have heard about!! Love this 😊
It's been fun just watching you guys create better and better produced content. Good on ya! :)
This almost felt like a documentary. The respect you showed to the town, while providing lots of information about the incident. Impeccable work sir!
You are kidding right? Sarcasm?
Quality Content right here! Marv was legit and deserved to be heard.
Marv was insane and almost killed children when he drove trough that daycare and was dumping his sewage in the towns water supply lmao
Yes moe sargi👍👍👍
@@KonGKaoZ he was a fucking lunatic, and couldn’t have been further from his sky daddy. Killing, extorting, coercion, etc. he planned on killing many, but sky daddy had him drive over a basement, of a guy who simply didn’t agree with him… irony is palpable
@@cameronleger66 right he was a fucking head case
his makeshift septic tank at his muffler shop was overflowing into a nearby River and he was fined for it. So he threw a fit and burned the town down.
It is sad that even in such a small community, the local government places themselves so high up. I feel there are probably a lot of little towns that are just waiting for another Marvin to snap because of dumb bureaucracy. Always rediculous obstacles in the way of a small business owner.
Cody, great job on the video. It was cool to be able to see the route that the killdozer took through Granby. I think you made this video in a very respectful manner and really shined a light on a touchy subject
I wish you would have asked more questions about the event. It would be nice to hear from people who lived there at the time, what happened according to their perspective and what they know about the events leading up to the rampage.
I’ve heard conflicting stories, some paint him as a man pushed to this because of being mistreated. But I’ve also heard that they tried to work with him and he was being unreasonable.
I’d love to hear more perspectives from people who were actually there.
I came back from Afghanistan in 2014 and started a business in Deltona Florida. Code enforcement had a bone to pick with me right away. Long story short, I lost that business before it even had the chance to flourish. After that I lost almost everything I owned so I can totally understand how this guy felt. In hindsight I can see how I didn’t help the situation but my main takeaway is that code enforcement & the city in general has wayyy too much power & they won’t hesitate to kick the little guy while he’s down if he’s just trying to stand his ground & make an honest living.
In a free country, you aren't forced to "help the situation" because there is no situation.
Those people get off to hurting small businesses if they can. It’s like they want people to be homeless so that they can build more unnecessary things where a small business used to be
The system is and has been broken a long long time. My Uncle got screwed the same way with his property and the local government and local Karen's and it put him in an early grave. He was one of the kindest men in my life.
@@elixer4583the big ass 80 square miles walmarts make them way more money than just simple people trying to just survive
All government in America has gotten out of control. Our federal government was never meant to be this big or have this much control over our daily lives. What's really sad is we have people in America who keep voting for more government control and regulations. It's unbelievable people have become so unaware.
This happened when i was in 9th grade. Me and all my friends in school praised Marvin for standing up to be being bullied by his town in so many ways. They wronged him and his business and he did what was necessary in his eyes. People could only dream of having balls as big as Marvin’s to fight back. Rip to a legend who will be talked about 100 years from now.
I'd like to know how damaging other people's property is 'fighting back' when those people weren't the ones who hurt him.
@@nybergsgarage People shit on him because they could through the abuse of power. He balanced the scales back in his favor. They were extorting him for hundreds of thousands of dollars so he cost them even more.
@@nybergsgarage Marvin had a list of the people that wronged him, kinda funny that the police notified every single place he destroyed, hense why no one besides marvin was killed.
@@nybergsgaragehe went after specific properties of the governing officials I don’t blame him you can only push someone so far
@@travisdurden6629 maybe so, but that wasn't made clear. either way, bulldozing those who wrong you is not the way to go.
This is by far the best video u have ever made
Thanks Cody you dare to do what others will not. Great prospective of how the town has moved on and the Man who was wronged by local Authority
I swear the production quality in these videos is better than most Netflix shows😂😂
LMFAO !!!! I call Netflix the HOMEMADE channel.
Cody's dedication to delivering quality content never fails to impress me. Keep up the great work, man!
You’re channel is a mystery
Aye wsp
how tf do u have 6m subscribers
Bro, your name trips me up so bad, ive seen u twice now
how much did u pay for ur account?
I was surprising impressed with this video. Didn’t even realize it was a whistlin video until I saw him lol. Nice video.
Awesome video man. This man’s intelligence and maturity of his actions are unmatched. Much respect to you sir.
a moment of compassion for Marvin, thanks to Cody for sharing this
Amen
I wonder what would have happened if he didn't kill himself? Would he have survived being "apprehended"? Would he still be sympathetic?
Would have lived long enough to see people's thoughts change on him? Would he have ever gotten out of prison?
I assume probably not. Criminal court would have been about as fair for him as civil court.
@@edwardscott3262 Yeah he'd been made to serve time, but he'd also be out years ago, and with the advent of social media the world turned on Granby.
I’m the fifth generation owner of a farm in Massachusetts. My grandfather sold land before I was born. Eventually over 70 houses were built on my great grandfathers pasture and cranberry bogs. A member of the planning board lived in this development. She organized her neighbors to come and complain about our plans to develop a portion of our farm. Basically torches and pitchforks. If my plans hadn’t worked out in the end… I had a backup plan named D9 for the largest dozer I’d be able to rent…I completely understand where Marvin was coming from!!!
In New Lenox Illinois, the owner of Target cut down a checkpoint for the Underground Railroad cause they wouldnt build the target on that land because of that landmark. Since cameras werent around back then he got to build that target.
@@TrevorD19wow, does BLM in your area know about that? 😂😂😂😂
A better plan would be a trip to the psych ward. You are delusional, just like Marvin.
My great x6 Grandfather, George Felt (1601-1693) on Wikipedia, from Mass Bay Colony had 1200 acres of land stolen from him in what would eventually become North Yarmouth, Maine. Sooo, my now passed Father and I had a lot of respect for Marvin Heemeyer because we came from generational disenfranchisement.
@@suran396 This was a guy that bought the land before it was a landmark. The city tried to screw him out of building it by making it a landmark.
Awesome documentary!! Well done on your part and the towns people !!
For a second i was expecting a bunch of inappropriate, uneducated comments and jokes but was pleasantly surprised that the video was done in a serious manner that respected the community that was involved in this.
I side with Marvin. Rest in peace. Amen to Marvin.
Me too!
Y’all crazy
@@Vengnssthey're the least loyal and patriotic always in it for themselves
This guy is like Marvin Heemeyer if he did reasonable things
bro what are you doing here
LOL! 😂😂😂
WhistlinDiesel?! More like PooPoolinPooPooesel! 😂
I make better content…
Are you saying what he did wasn't reasonable? I disagree
@@easypete975 his famous quote is "Sometimes reasonable men must do unreasonable things," so that'd be good question to ask him
I love how the lady in the town hall said “he could have killed a lot of people, he had guns” not realizing that he literally welded himself into the cab with a small hole to see.
WD, I'll be honest. I don't really watch your videos. Maybe I've seen like 3 of your videos. But this, hands down, is one of my favorite videos on UA-cam. Maybe I'll keep an eye on your content.
“I was always willing to be reasonable until I had to be unreasonable. Sometimes reasonable men must do unreasonable things.”
― Marvin Heemeyer
i didnt think you would ever be able to top the any level lifted ford videos... this is it Cody, bring us the content!!
Props to Cody for being very respectful with his questions
